I have the old VLC Player (the one removed from the App Store) but wasn't impressed. I was hoping to get opinions and/or reviews of the above players, and any others people might suggest. My main needs are as follows:

- Playback of non-Apple formats (mainly MKV, XviD, DivX, etc.)
- Subtitles (.srt, .sub formats)

Thanks in advance!

The best is AZUL it plays about 95% of any movie format & its .99 cents in the app store

I've been using CineXPlayer for a month now and it works fine for me. I use SUPER to convert vids to xvid.

Firstly, I do not have a jailbroekn device so don't know how the latest version goes - I am sure it is quite good.

But I have the original version that was on the app store before it got pulled, and there is no other way to say this - it is a piece of crap. Plays everything poorly, out of sync, jerky, etc. Very atypical for VLC.

I can only assume these potivie comments are from users with a jailbroken device and a later VLC for iPad app via Cydia or from the VLC page. But for standard iPads the app is either unavailable or if you have it, it is v1.0.0 and next to useless.

I don't have a jb iPad but I am using vlc on my iPhone as well as iPad 2, I downloaded it in iTunes long ago for iPhone, but it's now removed from AppStore, I had downloaded it earlier so I am still able to use it

You will have to look for other options

Does anyone know which app mentioned here (except VLC) has loop and hopefully also AB-loop feature?

Thanks!

I'm an AV player user myself, which works really well except for the appalingly unstable file transfer. Supposedly you can http or ftp to it in accept mode, but it crashes way too often during transfer, and the peak rate is only 1mb/s.

Playback is excellent, but what should I use for reliable transfer? you can always use the open in feature once you have your file on the device....

Ok, found out that using ifiles I can connect to my iPad as a WebDAV device and then open the files with the open in option. Still just as slow, but at least it is reliable, and you can even send ifiles to the background and it will keep transferring (WebDAV obviously let's you do more than one file at a time as well).

Sent using iPF on my 64GB wifi iPad 2 - w00t!

How am I like the only person who brings up XBMC as the most amazing player for the iPad? I don't get it. Sure its interface sucks because its not optimized for touch, but it streams flawlessly off of network shares and can play HD mkv files flawlessly which no other player can do.

Don't you have to be JB to use XBMC, or no?

Yep.

Oh, Cool! I was right. Thanks!
